PHP CURL Progress - Will pay today it self

I need to upload files to a remote server from my local computer using a PHP script. So far everything is working nicely. The only problem is, how do I get a progress of the bytes sent so far. For example the percentage of the upload. Because sometimes I will have to upload large files, So its necessary for me to get the progress of the uploads.

This is what I have so far, and It works properly. I only need to know how to get the progress of my uploads -

        $wwwhandle = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($wwwhandle, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        curl_setopt($wwwhandle, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); 
        curl_setopt($wwwhandle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); 
        curl_setopt($wwwhandle, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)"); 
        curl_setopt($wwwhandle, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $file);
        curl_setopt($wwwhandle, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $file);
        if ($action == "POST") {
            curl_setopt($wwwhandle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
            curl_setopt($wwwhandle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $parameter); 
        }
        if ($action == "GET" && $parameter != "") $url .= "?" . $parameter;
        $result=curl_exec($wwwhandle);
        curl_close($wwwhandle);
        return $result;

Thanks.

 

You need to use Ajax or Flash technique if you want to display progress bar. Client side javascript/flash and server side you can use your php CURL code.

Few examples:

Search google for more.

 

FredL Thanks a lot for the reply. But the problem here is that when I execute the line - curl_exec($wwwhandle); It will not give me any status of the upload. So its not possible for me to create a progress bar. I need a method to get the status from CURL. There is a function called CURLOPT_READFUNCTION to get the status, but still its not supported by PHP/CURL. It works fine when I use the command line CURL.Hope someone can help me out here.

Thanks.
